Ronaldinho says Mbappe could win Ballon d'Or with PSG

Monday, 4 December 2023


BANGKOK, Dec 03 (AFP): Star French striker Kylian Mbappe can win the Ballon d'Or in "any team", Ronaldinho told AFP Sunday, but the Brazilian would like him to win it with Paris Saint-Germain, "a big club".
"A great player like him can have the opportunity to win the Ballon d'Or in any team, but as I love PSG, I would like him to do it with PSG," the 2002 World Champion said. "I hope he will win it. He is a good friend and a very great player. I like his style of play," he said during an interview with AFP in Thailand.
The prestigious award still eludes the French captain, who finished this year in third place -- his best ranking to date.
"Winning the big competitions will help him a lot," said Ronaldinho, who wore No.10 for PSG from 2001 to 2003.
"PSG is a great club," the Brazilian said during a visit to Bangkok as an ambassador for Teqball, a novelty sport combining football and table tennis.
